Chapter 24: Rings (2)

Thank you, brothers! Today's update is a little late, and there are two groups of relatives and friends at home, so that's why it's like this! The first update, the next one will be sent out at three o'clock at midnight! οΌ‰

"Sister-in-law, what Lu said to you is all heartfelt! The main inland business projects of the firm are about to move westward, and the head of the family will also move north! Xiao Yu will be sent by me to Yangzhou for a year of training, and you will go north to Taicang with the master of the family in two days, so that Xiao Yu can handle everything independently! Can you agree? Lu Shaobei said with a stiff smile on his face.

In his eyes, Shang Mei's family is a good person, but her greed for small profits, conservative thinking and other actions are the factors that Lu Shaobei is most afraid of will affect Shang Yu, if Shang Yu is allowed to deal with things alone, it will be better, this time he not only asked Shang Yu to escort Lu Wan to Zhouzhuang, but also wanted to make Shang Yu check whether Zhang Shicheng was really eager to achieve good deeds when he passed through Taizhou, and whether he could become a force to contain the two Fan Bang Wanhu.

Next, it is to let Shang Yu enter Yangzhou, with Shang Yu's ability, he will definitely assist the Yangzhou Mansion Steward Tong to manage the Yangzhou Mansion business very well, in the past two days, Lu Shaobei did not want to inform Shang Yu of the death of his mother and son Shang Xing, the caravan had such a thing, it was really much to his surprise, it involved a business alliance to the Western Regions to get an extremely important item, whether it was from personal feelings or for the business, he could not mention this matter to anyone before it was dealt with.

After hearing this, Shang Mei's face changed greatly, and he sat on the chair next to Lu Shaobei's desk and said a little crampedly: "Mr. Lu! Thank you for taking care of our family over the years, but I promised his father that he must take good care of him, Xiao Yu is only fifteen years old after the New Year, I really don't worry, if Xiao Yu sets off with the team! As a mother, I wish I could travel with him, and I hope my husband will agree! ”

After hearing this, Lu Shaobei couldn't help but say helplessly: "Sister-in-law, this incident in Quanzhou happened very suddenly!" The merchant will have to move out of the city, and the caravan led by the merchant brother will arrive in Taicang directly in the near future, if you follow my arrangement, you can meet him!" Xiao Yu will also return to Taicang in a year later in Yangzhou, and we will see you then! This time he lied and deceived him, and Lu Shaobei felt very uncomfortable.

Shang Xing is dead, and for the sake of Shang Yu's beloved future, he has to make this cruel decision, that is, how Shang Xing's death will hurt the mother and son who are far away in the future, he must do so.

In the past two months, Shang Yu has completed many things that the great merchants have not been able to complete as a teenager, especially the things that have been discussed and planned, which Lu Shao Beibei admires, and Shang Yu's extremely strong ability to calculate and plan in one day can be completed in a few weeks, all of which makes Lu Shao's arctic force cultivate Shang Yu to become the backbone of the business alliance.

The book has been sent to Yangzhou, and soon after Shang Yu arrives in Yangzhou, he will enter the Yangzhou business to become a pawnshop director, and can play a role in the management of the Yangzhou business in the management of the Yangzhou business.

"Mr. Lu, this thing is so sudden! Can you let me go back and think about it? Shang Mei's thought of Shang Yu's still naΓ―ve appearance, she was a little reluctant, her son has recently changed a lot under Lu Shaobei's education, not only from a warehouse to carry goods into the Lu Mansion, but also became the manager of the purchase of houses in the Lu Mansion, all of which was beyond her expectations.

These days, her son Shang Yu has not spent much time seeing her, but every time she comes back, she will use her monthly money to buy back many things, which are often used by her when she is young, which makes her happy and sad.

Shang Yudi has changed a lot, that ancestral temperament seems to be raising its head again, and her husband Shang Xing once instructed her before leaving: "The son of my merchant can no longer engage in business, this is my father's dying words!" Otherwise, woe will come! Yu Nie, you must not let Xiao Yu be greedy for fame and fortune. You let him do some small work in the business, and when I turn back from the Western Regions, we will move our family to the area of Chuzhou, which will surely become the safest place in the world. ”

Thinking of this, Shang Mei raised his head and looked at Lu Shaobei.

After hearing this, Lu Shaobei shook his head, stared at Shang Mei and said, "Sister-in-law Shang, Xiao Yu is very talented in business!" With this alone, he can become the steward of the business, and if the business brother is there, he will not stop the child from having a good experience! ”

"Xiao Yu will come to see me later, and what you do will determine whether Xiao Yu will become a child who stays by his mother's side, or whether he will become a genius in business! Xiao Yu is part of the overall strategy of the business this time, and I hope that you, as a mother, will not become a stepping stone to hinder the development of this business wizard. When Lu Shaobei said this, his face couldn't help but be a little gloomy.

Hearing Lu Shaobei say this, Shang Mei's face became very bad, but she couldn't refute it, she had a thousand reasons, and she couldn't tell the secret of Shang Yu and Shang Xing's father and son in her current identity.

I couldn't help but secretly think in my heart: "My husband has always been obsessed with the business alliance, and he has been intersecting with Lu Shaobei for more than ten years, but he hasn't confided in half a sentence, can I tell their identities?" ”

"Sister-in-law, that's all you say! Since you don't talk anymore, when Xiao Yu comes over later, I will let him say goodbye to you! The child will grow up after all, not to mention that this time is only a year apart, and after the Yangzhou Mansion is stable, I will transfer Xiao Yu to Taicang to serve, and his achievements in this life will be much higher than that of Brother Shang! Lu Shaobei saw that Shang Mei was speechless, so he said.

It's just that when he mentioned Shang Xing, he couldn't help but feel gloomy again, and he had no choice but to hide Shang Xing's death.

After hearing this, Shang Meishi raised his head and said, "As Mr. said, but when I arrive in Taicang, if I meet my husband, I will go to Yangzhou to reunite with my son, I hope Mr. Lu can agree." After all, she couldn't tell the identity of Shang Yu and his father Shang Xing, so she could only reluctantly agree to Lu Shaobei's suggestion.

"Sister-in-law Shang, this is not difficult, Lu can promise you, then Lu will thank you here!" Lu Shaobei said with complicated thoughts in his heart.

"Business steward! Everything you need, I'll have it ready for you in three hours! What else do you need? Tibino, the proprietor of the Rongsheng Inn, asked Shang Yu with a smile on his face.

At this time, Shang Yu was sitting in a VIP room in the Rongsheng Inn, and the people of the Gujia Kingdom were sitting next to him a little nervously.

"Okay, I'll drive to pick up these items in the afternoon, and there are some things I'm going to Treasure Street to see for myself!" Shang Yu nodded with satisfaction and said.

"Yo! Are you going to go there for some shopping, do you need me to find an expert to accompany you? "Tibino is a mixed race of Han and Tianzhu people, and his family has a history of more than 100 years in Quanzhou Mansion, which can be regarded as a medium-sized merchant in Quanzhou Mansion and has a very good reputation, so Shang Yu will choose this store as one of the seven stores that supply goods to Lu Mansion.

"Not necessarily, sir! This friend behind me has a couple of items in his hand that I don't need! But if you accept it at a reasonable price, you will definitely make a profit! Shang Yu turned around and pointed to the Gujia people behind him, whose clothes were a little messy, and said.

When the people of Nagujia saw Shang Yu turn around and point at him, they immediately nodded and smiled at Tibino, and bent down to salute.

"Who is this man?" Tibinore couldn't help frowning and asked, there are many people in this kind of dirty clothes in Quanzhou City, basically begging in the bazaars and various prosperous areas, and now that he appears in front of him, he is naturally a little uncomfortable, just looking at this person's face is red, and his complexion is different from that of the Central Plains, nor is he like the Persians, white-faced ghosts and Black Devils, but since he can be with Shang Yu, he must be an extraordinary person, he thought to himself.

"This is a friend from the Gujia country on another land tens of thousands of miles overseas, his name is Samochi, he is a merchant who came to the Central Plains for the first time in the Gujia country, he was shipwrecked in the sea, he has several clay sculptures in his hands, but he brought strange things from the Gujia country, you can take a look!"

Shang Yu turned to Samoqi and said in Gujia Chinese: "Brother Samoqi, take out the few clay sculptures left in your hand!" This Tibino's shopkeeper was a man of knowledge. ”

Immediately after hearing this, Samochi smiled and said, "Good! I'll take it out right away! ”

After that, he carefully placed the burden on the table behind him, and slowly opened it, and the things inside emitted a faint golden light in front of the three of them.

Tibino was not optimistic about the clay sculpture that Shang Yu said, and he thought in his heart: "Clay sculpture? Thousands of miles west of my ancestral hometown, there is a city called Cairo, where the clay sculptures can be called strange things! The things in the tomb of the pharaoh were all things that could only be seen in the world by thousands of dead tomb robbers, how could this red man come up with any treasures? ”

But when he saw the items in the baggage, he immediately released a greedy gaze from his eyes, like a person in a hurry who saw a stunning woman, and almost pounced.

"The original gold clay sculpture! Is it this kind of treasure? Tibino immediately stepped forward and carefully picked up one of the clay statues and examined it.

Shang Yu said with a smile: "It is the original golden clay sculpture, this is a group of clay sculptures created by the sun god to create the world!" It is the most valuable treasure in the country of this big brother Samoch! As long as the price you offer is reasonable, I can persuade him to sell it to you. ”

Tibinore immediately hurriedly said: "This kind of rare treasure can cost as much as it costs, even if I go bankrupt!" As he spoke, he was even breathing.

A quarter of an hour later, Shang Yu drove Samoqi to the Fudi Inn in the west of the city, and when the other party jumped out of the car, he couldn't help asking, "Brother Samoqi!" Why did you ask Tibinore for dozens of seven feet of steel for a few dozen taels of silver? ”

Only then did Samoch say: "The circulating things in the Central Plains are actually gold, silver and copper coins, but these things in our Gujia country are only used to build buildings and houses, before coming to the Central Plains, we didn't bother to bring these ordinary things at all, even when we got off the boat and fled, we didn't take those things from the ship, and now I want to regret it, otherwise I brought a few gadgets, and my friends would not have no money to buy medicines!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but bow his head.

In fact, the reason for the ship's wreck was that there were too many gold items and the draft was too deep, so it would sink after encountering the reef, and the people of Samochi were all deceived by the white-faced people of the Portuguese country who inadvertently broke into the country of Guga, but the world is unpredictable, if it were not for this, I am afraid that the country of Guga would have perished earlier.

At this moment, a guy from the Blessed Land Inn walked out of the store, saw the luxury carriage driven by Shang Yu, and then saw Shang Yu, and immediately said in surprise: "Steward Shang, what are you doing at our inn?" "This guy is usually in charge of the inn land shopping, and he has seen Shang Yu more than once in the market, and immediately recognized Shang Yu, the well-known young steward of Lu Mansion in the market.

Before Shang Yu could answer, the guy saw Samochi standing in front of the car, frowned, and gestured and said: "You barbarian, don't stand in front of the business manager, don't go into the inn, if it weren't for the shopkeeper to see you pitiful and take you to live in the firewood room, the ghost would not bother to pay attention to you!" ”

Shang Yu was thinking about what Samoqi said, and exclaimed in his heart: "Sure enough, as introduced in the teacher's teaching, the ancient Jia country is full of gold and silver, but it lacks steel!" If there is gold everywhere, it will naturally lose its preciousness. On the contrary, the original gold clay sculptures produced there are quite good, and the shopkeeper of Natibino really likes it! ”

He thought of the expression on the face of Tibino, the shopkeeper of the Ascended Inn, and he thought it amused.

It's just that when he saw this guy come out and be so rude to Samoch, he immediately retracted his thoughts, turned his face to this guy and said: "This brother, don't be rude, this is my friend who came from overseas, and he doesn't understand the Chinese language, this is a silver ticket of five thousand taels, you can take it!" Finding the best doctor to treat his companions, changing them to a better room, and then finding someone to buy them a sea ship in the harbor, should be enough? ”

As he spoke, Shang Yu took out five silver tickets of one thousand taels from his arms and handed them over, buying a sea boat, as long as it is not too big, a ship more than ten meters long only needs more than one thousand taels, and the rest is enough to use it as Samoch and others to heal their injuries.

The guy was immediately pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly said, "It turned out to be a friend of the business manager, that's no problem!" I immediately took this uncle in to see the shopkeeper, and I said! These celebrities will never be barbarians without a way out! As he spoke, he took the silver ticket handed by Shang Yu and saluted Shang Yu.

"Big Brother Samoch! For I have commanded this fellow to buy you a boat, and to have a doctor treat your wounds, and if you need it, he will come to my brother-in-law, and the shop will no longer trouble you! Shang Yu turned to Samoqi in Guga Chinese.

"Thank you! The sun god will surely bless you, a young man from the Central Plains, Brother Shang Yu! I will always remember your kindness to all of us in the land of Guga! Samochi said with a heartfelt bow to Shang Yu.

"Big Brother Samo, you're welcome!" Shang Yu laughed in his heart, the value of the things he bought in his arms was immeasurable, it must be something of great value, and he could buy it for thousands of taels of silver, so he really earned it. However, seeing that the other party thanked him so much, he hurriedly hugged his fists in return.

After a few polite words, Shang Yu turned his head and said to his man: "If they need me for anything else, you can go to the Lu Clan's Warehouse to find my brother-in-law Li Steward, do you understand?" He was going to send Lu Wan to Zhouzhuang soon, the experience of Samoch and his companions was too miserable, Shang Yu was soft-hearted, so he wanted to help them to the end, at least buy a sea ship to send them back to China.

It's just that he didn't think about it, on the sea, a ship of more than ten meters will sink when it encounters a big wave, and this Samoch people will be able to return home after another adventure, so it is inconvenient to talk about it here.

The fellow immediately agreed, "Business steward, please rest assured! If you have you, we will definitely take care of this uncle! "Five thousand taels of silver tickets, go to Shang Yu's instructions to spend the necessary expenses, there will be more than half left, the so-called good intentions have good rewards, this shopkeeper will definitely jump up happily.

"That's good! Brother Samoch, let's say goodbye! Shang Yu said to Samoch again.

"Goodbye! Brother Shang Yu, the sun god bless you! Tears flowed from Samoqi's eyes, and he said goodbye to Shang Yu again.

Shang Yu then drove away and headed for Baoqi Street.

"Dead Wood Fish! Suffocated me, you actually gave 5,000 taels of silver tickets to that guy, aren't you crazy? Lu Wan was bored, and his anger only broke out in the carriage at this time.

Along the way, she couldn't understand what Shang Yu said to the red-faced man, she talked to Shang Yu, but Shang Yu turned around and told her not to speak, this stuffy in the carriage couldn't go anywhere, but she almost went crazy, and after seeing Shang Yu actually hand over five thousand taels of silver tickets to the guy, she was even more angry.

"Second Miss! I bought something for you, there is definitely no second thing in the Central Plains! This is a quasi-gold ring ornament, and it can be made into various shapes through special production techniques, which can be regarded as a priceless thing. Shang Yu heard Lu Wan lose his temper in the carriage, but he didn't care.

As he spoke, he took out the three thin silver sticks of different lengths from his bosom and handed them into the carriage.

"What kind of ring is this? It's just a few silver sticks, what kind of gold? Nonsense, when I return to the house, I will tell my father that you spend the money in the house indiscriminately. After Lu Wan heard Shang Yudi's words, he became even more angry.

Despite this, she still took the three bright silver objects, and when Bu Yi started it, it felt heavy in her hand, and she barely held it.

"How can it be so heavy? It feels like it's better than gold. Lu Wan immediately asked Shang Yu outside the carriage in surprise.
